Nate's cut is from not taking a single punch to it after the headbutt occurred. If it opens anymore it's going to go down towards his eye, not out towards his temple. Nate said he was seeing spots and when the doctor asked him if he wanted to stop fighting he said "no". With 3 headbutts in 3 rounds, the chances of another headbutt or 10 were very good. Nate made the right decision.

Referee: "How many fingers do you see me holding up?"
Wepner: "How many guesses do I get?"
Wepner, having been brutally cut early on in the bout against Sonny Liston, was allowed to go on into the 10th and final round of the fight by the doctor and the referee.
Wepner was able to answer the referee's and the doctor's questions correctly due to his trainer tapping his back as many times as the referee held up fingers...Comment

Marciano's nose was badly cut by an elbow thrown by Ezzard Charles.
In those days a cut stoppage would result in a loss whether it had been caused by a legal punch or not, so when Marciano was told that the fight was in danger of being stopped due to his nose which was gushing blood, Marciano went out and stopped Charles in the very next round.
There were fears that the cut on the nose would end Marciano's career but he did recover to fight on for a couple of years.Comment

Henry Cooper suffered deep cuts in his two fights against the sharp-punching Muhammad Ali.
Cooper protested the stoppage both times, arguing that he still had a chance of landing his hammer of a left hook which he had once knocked down Ali with.Comment
